Numbers were much depleted and organiser NeilB was not available for this shortened trip-trolleying on to the Sun 27 July evening ferry and back on the Tuesday lunchtime sailing.
Lots of great camping on beaches South of the Scalasaig ferry pier. Views to Scarba, Jura and Islay are amazing Used the morning HW to head over the Strand sands between Colonsay and Oronsay and out amongst the skerries to the West. Coming back there was a nice wee tiderace in the Abhain a Chuirn channel as the Strand ebbed against the breeze. We then headed down
Caolas Mor to the South of Oransay and back to land at Seal Cottage to walk around the island. The Priory house and ancients priory building complex are well worth visiting.
Next time we will paddle the North end.
Almost worth it for the Southern Hebrides cruise on the big comfortable MV Clansman alone!
